Yesterday I got my new TI PB and came across the "calibrating your battery" section in the setup guide. How did Apple ever come up with the term calibrating your battery? I thought it was pretty funny. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

Battery Calibration entails the following:
1: charing your battery to the max.
2: use the battey until you recieve the first low battery warning.
3: re-charge your battery.
Acoording to Apple, this should be done within the first week of operation. I am assuming this somehow prevents the battery from getting a memory..
When you char your battery in step one, do you have to use any special implement, like a cast iron skillet? Or will a faulty adaptor and out of spec wall socket do the trick?
BTW - i think my battery needs some calibrating. Right now it gets to about 40% over the course of an hour and a half, and then shoots to zero in a few minutes. I have a 1.5 year old Pismo..

I remember an issue with old iBook batteries (first gen iBooks) where if they were not used for a year or so, they would die. So, storage was next to impossible for retailers, etc.
